According to the source, "Israel" has not provided any answers regarding a ceasefire or withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.

A senior source in the Palestinian Resistance confirmed that the round of negotiations in Doha "did not lead to anything new." The source, speaking to Al Mayadeen, added that the Israeli occupation's stance is "very obstinate and Israel has not offered anything new, except agreeing to a gradual and conditional return of the displaced."

The Israeli occupation's delegation, the source stated, emphasized the conditional "return of displaced persons in batches, including women, children, and elderly men, a proposal rejected by Hamas."

Moreover, it was noted that "Israel" did not provide any response regarding a ceasefire or withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, "and there was no discussion about the prisoners demanded by Hamas."

Al-Dali: 'Israel' categorically rejects Gaza withdrawal

Hani al-Dali, an expert on Palestinian Resistance affairs, told Al Mayadeen two days ago that three reasons are contributing to the negotiations' stalemate.

The first reason, according to al-Dali, is "the occupation's categorical refusal, as a first stage, to withdraw from Rashid and Salah al-Din streets, its rejection of aid passage, and the return of the displaced without any conditions."

The second reason is "the occupation's refusal to stop the aggression and refusal to commit to a complete withdrawal from the Gaza Strip at the beginning of the second stage," he added.

Al-Dali continued, stating that the third reason is that the occupation's negotiating delegation "did not show any seriousness regarding the equation set by the Palestinian Resistance, related to the issue of prisoners, which involves exchanging 50 Palestinian prisoners for one Israeli female soldier."
